Description of problem:
When sent to a console terminal, the bell/alarm character does not produce any
sound.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Everytime
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute: echo -e '\a'
2.
3.
Actual results:
No sound
Expected results:
A beep sound
Additional info:

Um, most terminals suppress the bell sound when that scan code is received (due
to the horrible annoying sound it makes :) ). xterms I think eat the bell
universally (although this may be changeable in the termcap for vt100 consoles),
but they do allow you to redirect the character to a visual bell via the
shift-rightmouse menu. Konsole has a bell configuration menu that defaults to
off, but can be set to 'system notification' to play the bell tone through the
speakers.
